> Once a substance or product is classified as hazardous material, a dedicated regulatory framework takes effect: dangerous goods logistics covers the coordinated planning and execution of classification, packaging, labeling, storage, and transport of goods that pose a risk to people, property, or the environment.

Once a substance or product is classified as hazardous material, a dedicated regulatory framework takes effect: dangerous goods logistics covers the coordinated planning and execution of classification, packaging, labeling, storage, and transport of goods that pose a risk to people, property, or the environment. The applicable rules depend on the mode of transport – ADR for road, RID for rail, the IMDG Code for sea, and IATA DGR for air. Freight forwarders and shippers must deploy trained, certified personnel and maintain complete documentation at every stage. Unlike general freight operations, errors here can result not only in civil liability but also in criminal prosecution.
